Here are the specification for your project

Here are the 'specs' to follow for your project:

You must provide your own art files, or you can let us design your project for a fee

General Requirements:

Define all colors as CMYK (or PMS if applicable).
Check that documents are correct size, with crop and fold marks.
All images must be at least 300 dpi. You can check this by going to the image menu in Photoshop and select image size item, make sure that you do this before starting on the design on your graphic. If you provide images that do not meet this requirement your order will be delayed and you will be required to resubmit the artwork.
Images must be setup in CMYK mode. Images sent in RGB will cause your order to be delayed.
If you have used Illustrator or inDesign convert fonts to outlines.
If you have used Quark Express, Photoshop or EPS you MUST include all the fonts you used to create the artwork.
If you are using Photoshop to do your layout, make sure you keep all the layers editable, do not merge or flatten the image.
If you have used Illustrator or Quark Express make sure all linked files have been included with your files.

Bleed:
Please incoporate 0.125" or 1/8-inch of overwork for all bleed images. Any portion of the image that extends to the edge of the product is considered a bleed.

Margins:
Elements that do not bleed should be at least 0.125" from the edge.
